55The spot is really peaceful and has huge, beautiful trees. The host was very accommodating- we had to change our day a few times, but we snuck in a visit between rain storms. It was obviously a little muddy - which made it even more fun for Halo and Jake! There’s a path to the creek - and I could hear it - but i couldn’t find it. (Not surprising - I can’t find my way most places!). I’ll ask for a guide or a hand drawn map and come back again. 🤣🐾Peggie H.

55I wish I could give 10 stars! Barbara was so sweet and thoughtful. She had a welcome sign with our names on it, along with dog treats for my pup. She also provided us with cold water, she had super clean water bowls for Stella. This place has so many amenities which you can see in my photos. If you are looking for a country setting, fun place with lots to do for your pup then Barbara’s place is the place you want to go! Very clean, quiet, and lots of room for your dog to run free.
We had the best time at Barbara’s well kept SniffSpot. We will be back for-sure! Tina S.

55Our puppies had a fantastic time! This is our new favorite spot. It’s such a nice property with lots of room for them to run, shaded swing seats for the humans, and agility equipment for the dogs. The host was very kind and went above and beyond, leaving special treats for our pups and fresh water bowls, while also giving us access to a cooler with water bottles. There were also poop bags and signage with host information. Thank you!! We look forward to visiting again. Kylie C.

55Oh my gosh this spot is doggy heaven!!! Lots of obstacles, fenced in, and lots of places for the doggies to get shade when they need it. There’s a bunch of toys including a ball launcher, and Barbara was so sweet and greeted us when we arrived and pointed out all the amenities. There’s water bowls for your dogs when you get there and even a treat when they leave. Thanks for an amazing time!Aaron C.

55This Sniffspot is excellent!! Clean, well-kept, lots of dog diversions (toys, obstacle course, open space, great "doggy pool," comfortable for dog owners as well. Hostess was most helpful and welcoming. We definitely plan to return -- and also mention this to other dog owners we know.
We highly recommend this Sniffspot. David R.

55The Host has done an awesome job creating a safe and fun space for Dogs of all sizes to stay contained in. Fun obstacles and a field for fetch. Cold water for the Humans.
She's put in a lot of thought. 😍
The Host was very friendly and attentive.
Peaceful quiet setting.
No Dogs in sight. Perfect for Reactive Dogs to relax and feel safe.
A double gate safety system.
Well worth the drive. From Fair Oaks about 35-40 minutes.

55Great open space! Your dog can explore and run full out and fetch a far as your thrower can go! The Host has two nice sitting areas on opposite ends of the property, a garbage can and fresh water for your dog. We picked up our waste and took it with us. No reason for the host to have to deal with it even in the garbage can. 🤣 well be back!!Matt A.

55Very nice spot. Plenty of space for your doggie(s) to run free and wild. Very clean and well maintained, the host is very nice, set up some water and chairs. My only critique, which is beyond the control of the host, is there are animals (sheep) in the next door area, that could distract your dog if your dog is distracted by animals, like mine was. Otherwise, I highly recommend.Renato -.

55This was a great sniff spot! We were greeted with a warm welcome, personalized message and treats!!! My pups enjoyed running, jumping and sniffing every bit of this wide open, immaculate play area. You can tell Barbara cared about everyone having a wonderful experience, from the ice water prepared for the dogs and humans. I could go on about what a nice morning we had and how much we enjoyed our time. Will be back soon! Lindsay B.

55Such a beautiful Sniffspot! There were two areas to choose from but my dogs really enjoy agility so we mostly stayed on that side. Fencing is completely secured in that area. Barbara was so sweet and left out a splash pad in the grass since it was a hot day. Our names with some treats were nicely displayed on the whiteboard before entering. We also had ice water for the dogs and humans! Lots of seating if needed. There were plenty of toys and enrichment activities- our new favorite spot!

55Such a cool setup, and so many cute details! Barbara greeted us upon arrival, and had ice water on hand (for both humans and dogs), splash pad turned on, and even a doggy treat 😊 It was pretty hot out and our first time visiting, so my dog Turkey spent most his time sniffing, exploring, and playing under the shady tree (I know he’ll be ready to zoom run around more next time). Turkey wasn’t sure what to make of the splash pad at first, but after I turned it down he hopped right in and cooled down 😊 The area with the splash pad and toys was very well fenced and is perfect for dogs of all sizes. We also explored the big grassy dog run area. Perfect for playing long games of fetch. This area is fenced but if you have small dogs then I’d just keep any eye that they don’t slip under the gate. Safe to say that we’ll definitely be back. Also, the spot is very easy to locate, plenty of parking, and the entry way is clearly labeled so you know you’re in the right place 😊 Thank you Barbara!

55Sniffspot paradise! I took my three dogs here today and we all had a fantastic time! The dogs were busy talking to all the animals and sniffing and exploring every corner of the yard. The animals were unphased by the dogs, which was a relief for me. The owners were out and about the property, but left us to our sniffari. They were incredibly friendly. We had a great time and our hour went by fast. I came home with three pooped out pups! We will be back for sure!Cindy K.

55Our two big dogs had plenty of space to run and interesting things to sniff. They enjoyed the grass, visiting the goats and horses at the fence, and the chance to really open up and run. The directions for access were clear. Water and supplies for cleaning up were easy to find. A great space to spend an hour and bring home tired, happy dogs. Kim M.

55Really fun sniff spot. There are farm animals right there so if your dog is reactive at all- might not be the best spot but for our two beagles- they loved all the sniffs and the company of the other animals. The host was SO SWEET!!!! We loved her so much! They have poop bags, toys and water! Will def go again!!!Courtney F.

FAQ about our Nevada City dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nevada City area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 80 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
